Poor baby. :( the pedialyte is a great thing when they are sick although my daughter never would drink it when she was. I always find that when she is sick she wants Mommy most so lots of cuddles for LO. As for diaper rash maybe instead of using wipes try a warm wash cloth or put in tub directly after dirty diaper. Hope LO feels better soon!!!

If he has an appetite and will eat, stick to the BRAT (bananas, rice, apples, toast) diet for a couple of days to try and "bind" him up. Not apple juice, but apples. My son went through this a few months ago, before he could eat finger foods, so we did mashed bananas. It helped a lot. Hope he feels better soon!

My little girl is just getting over it. Was throwing up all day Monday and diarrhea all yesterday. I just kept giving her water and Gatorade and kept offering solids but she usually wouldn't take them. The only thing she seemed to like was buttered noodles. She was at the dr yesterday and she says just keep her hydrated as best as possible. She had a terrible diaper rash so I kept using max strength cream and even gave her a little Tylenol to ease the pain due to all those diaper changes. Helped a lot. Good luck. It's no fun having a sick little one but all the cuddles is a nice change from a busy baby.

Our little one is just gettin iver an ear infection as well and he is still on antibiotics and has diarrhea and beacuse of it he has a diaper rash too. I wash his bum in the sink/ bath tub instead of wipes but he still screams from the pain (im guessing it feels like a burn) but putting lots of diaper cream and letting him go diaper free for a but is helping a lot. I use Sudocrem and it seems to be working well. Good luck mama i know its very hard with a sick baby :(.

The general suggestion is to give the child clear liquids for 10/12 hours. Then to reintroduce food using the following, Bananna, Rice, Toast, Applesauce. If they have no vomiting or diarrhea for 24h slowly add other food. Hope your lo feels better soon
